Converting Complex 3D Models into CADs

Final Touches

Now, it’s time for a lot of edge Filleting since our initial model has lots of curved edges.

Solid → Select the Fillet tool → Select any edges that need Filleting. It’s better to do this in batches as it’s easy to misclick the edge you want filleted.

And with that, hopefully, you know enough to transform 3D Models into CADs in Fusion 360. Now we know that we only covered some of it, but Fusion 360 is one of those kinds of software that once you understand the basic tools and how they work, you can figure out most of the other tools.
